MEXICAN PROGRESS.
Arranging Better Mail Facilities
WITH the limited States.

WASHINGTON, August "a Special Tele-
gram to the BEE.l-T Mexican govern
ment has recently remitted to the Mexican
minister here sum of money with which to
secure supply of rotary locks to be used in
transmitting the registered mails between
the City of Mexico and the United States.
At present the time required to forward reg
istered letters between New York and the
City of Mexico is about fourteen days and
when this international lock system Is inau-
gurated the time will be reduced to about
eight days. The delay in the present system
is occasioned by the practice which prevails
of checking registered matter at FL Paso and
Paso del Norte. The former Office Is one of
the four largest in the United States for
handling registered matter. When the new
system Is thoroughly established it will make
El Paso but little more than a way station.
Mr.. Bell, superintendent of the foreign mail
division of the postolllce department., says
that there will be four Offices in this country
where registered pouches for Mexico will be
made up. They are New York. San Fran
cisco, st. Louis and FL Paso. Another re-
form of considerable Importance to Ter-
chants in the United States having custom
ers in Mexico will probably be adopted by the
latter county before Sros very long ;.voa "a.
Of Mexico subject to duty are held
up at PasO del Norte, where the duties are
assessed, then the party addressed Is notified
and the package Is held up until the neces-
sary charges are paid. In this country when
a package Is received at the border the con-
tents Of which are subject to customs charges.
the appraiser ut Ell PasO ascertains the
amount of the duties which must bA paid and
marks it upon the package. 1t is then for.
warded to the address and the postmaster at
the point of destination collects the charges
and RENTS at once to the collector Of customs
at FL Paso. By this means annoying delays
are avoided. The Mexican postal authorities
are trying to get this system adopted on their
side Of the line. Mr.. Bell thinks that the at
tempt will be successful, but it may require
an act Of the Mexican congress to accomplish
Il. Mr.. Bell says that the Mexicans are try
ing in every. possible manner to improve
their postal service. They are adopting
American customs as rapidly as possible to
accomplish this end. lie thinks there never
was time when the feeling in the republic
was as friendly towards the United States as
1t Is now and that Americans should mot
only extend the hand of friendship to them
but should go across the river to grasp their
extended hands"

LUCKY BALkOONIsT BALDWIN.
Narrow Escape From Death of the
Noted IIrOnaut.

NEW York, Au ,ust A.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. Professor T. IS. Baldwin
had narrow escape from death yesterday at
Rockaway Beach, where 4,00O people went to
see him drop 5000 feet from balloon. The
balloon instead of rising as gas does into the
air, stretched out horizontally, and with the
aid of stiff east wind came down among
the crowd. The balloon was righted, the car
taken off, and the professor made fresh
start, clinging to the iron ring at the bottom
Of the netting. Some fifty yards to the west
OF the starting point stood a telegraph
pole and wires and towards these the wind
sent the airship at high state OF speed. The
crowd saw the danger and became excited,
women shrieking and men yelling all kinds
of advice to the aronaut. The balloon
struck the wires and broke them like threads,
the points Of contact being but short dis;
tance above the professors head. The recOil
threw the balloon dOwnwards Baldwin
jumped to the ground, grabbed the rope, and
yelled for help to hold it. The crowd rushed
to his assistance and the big sphere was
dragged to its anchorage again. After sew
eral more attempts to rise the professor gave
1t up and climbing to the top of an adjacent
shed called for attention and commenced a
scientific speech.

A paragraph appeared in the BEE Tues
day to the effect that the name of the
woman who was convicted of shopliftinl
in Falconer's some time ago was Mrs
Lytle instead of Garwood, as was there
given. 1t also stated that the woman
lived on Burt street. Mrs. N. Il. Lytle,
